Bath resealing in Runfold

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath resealing at your home in Runfold

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Runfold

There is no area surcharge for Runfold. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Runfold. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Runfold, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Runfold

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Common questions in Runfold

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Runfold?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Runfold?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Runfold for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Luton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Runfold

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Runfold, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Resealing in Runfold: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
